You can now buy the entry-level Lumia 550 from the Microsoft Store online... in Russia

Russian residents can start buying the budget-priced Lumia 550 smartphone from Microsoft. The company's official store site in that country has started selling the Windows 10 Mobile device for the price of 9490 Rubles, or about $141.

The site listing doesn't make it clear when orders for the Lumia 550 will begin shipping to Russian customers, but the wait should be a fairly short one as Microsoft had always planned to release the phone sometime in December.

The Lumia 550 has a 4.7-inch, 1280x720 display, a 1.1GHz, quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 200GB with a microSD card. It also has a 5MP rear camera, along with a 2MP front-facing sensor.
